Revitalising KL: Think City’s Vision for Downtown

In a recent report on corporate Malaysia by Remote, a global HR platform, Malaysia has been ranked as the second worst country for work-life balance among 60 nations. This statistic seems alarming and highlights a critical issue that impacts the well-being of employees and the overall productivity and competitiveness of businesses in this country. As the modern workforce increasingly values balance and well-being, understanding the underlying factors contributing to this ranking is essential.


Malaysia's ranking points to several deep-seated issues within the workplace culture. Long working hours, high job demands, and the pervasive expectation to be constantly available have created an environment where employees struggle to find equilibrium between their professional and personal lives. This imbalance has far-reaching consequences, affecting mental health, job satisfaction, and employee retention rates.


To dig deeper into these issues and explore potential solutions, we speak with Organisational Psychologist and CEO of O-Psych, Hetal Doshi, to help us understand the psychological impact of poor work-life balance, the specific needs and desires of Malaysian employees, and the practical steps employers can take to foster a healthier, more balanced work environment.
